Yeah, I just built a new computer and installed Vista 64-bit
Ultimate and was rather miffed that my SupraMax 56i modem was not
recognized by Vista so I was forced into spending some real money to buy
yet another stupid dialup modem, so I found the Hiro H50006 from Tiger
Direct for $7.99 since it was cheap, good chipset, and rave reviews from
AOL lusers. Vista auto detected the modem and installed the driver as an
Agere Systems PCI-SV92PP Soft Modem and Device Manager shows the modem
diagnostics is responding properly. However, when I print to Fax from MS
Word and try to send something out, it says Fatal Error in the Outbox
after attempting to dial out. My phone cord is plugged into the Line
port and dialtone is normal, ie no voicemails with beeping dialtone. My
caller id light indicates that the line is picked up and in use for
about 10 seconds then it hangs up. I even tried throwing some commas in
the front of the phone number to slow down the outbound dialing. I
cannot hear the dialing even though I went into Device Manager and
cranked the Modem volume to Full but I don't think this modem even has a
speaker. My other computer, a Dell laptop, has no problems sending out a
Fax using the same phone cord, it's using Vista 32-bit and a different
modem of course. Can you read my mind? I'm irked!!!
